EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



Twenty A-arieties were under trial in 1902. They were all sown side by side ad- 

 joining the turnips and mangels. The land was similar in character, and its treatment 

 and preparation were the same. The drills were made up two feet apart and rolled 

 with a heavy land roller to make a firm bed before the seed was sown. Two sowings 

 were made of each sort, the first on May 12, the second on May 26. The roots were 

 pulled on two difierent dates, the first pulHng was on October 14, the second on October 

 28. The yield per acre has been calculated in each case from the weight of roots 

 gathered from one row 66 feet long.
